This was so charming. I’ve viewed Regency (and Georgian) mentions of garden design and construction in mostly one way…I love hearing it mentioned in fiction, giving a feel for the scene setting, layers of richness, and love paintings and drawings of said gardens. But as fascinating as it is to me, if I read something that says ‘look it up’ I shy away. Because if I went down that rabbit hole they might not find me for a few months. So. I loved this little advertisement, thank you, it made my day! And we all need a lot of that these days.
Oh, I am so glad it brought you joy! And thank you for reaching out. I love hearing this type of feedback…it makes MY day!
Some of my favorite Regency era material are these charming vistas, designs, and features for country estates and I try to feature them when I stumble upon them…because like you, that rabbit hole is very deep.
That is great. Nice to ‘meet’ a kindred spirit in this little niche interest. I have to acknowledge and apologize for not doing that sooner, regarding your faithful hard work bringing us these images to us each week. Thank you, you have a great blog and information site.
There’s probably many others out there like-minded. But we tend to concentrate more on what our heroes and heroines might have worn or rode in/on and what rooms and houses they existed in. All of which I also like to see prints and paintings depicting them.
